Description
This HotBox enclosure is crafted to fit your Bambu Lab P1P seamlessly. If you want to print ABS, Nylon, PC, and other high-temperature filaments, an enclosure is one of the best upgrades for your machine. The P1P HotBox is your solution for stable interior temperature, fume and odor control, reduced printer noise (20%), and convenient access to your Bambu Lab P1P and tools. Check out our YouTube P1P HotBox Overview or read on to learn how the P1P HotBox accomplishes these 4 main properties:
1) Stable, Thermally Insulated, Interior Temperature
The HotBox is made of a sandwich of 3 materials selected to create structure and excellent insulating properties. The result is a lightweight semi-rigid construction, so structural that you can place a few spool holders or even the AMS on top of the unit. The exterior is made of a flame retardant, ballistic Nylon 600D, the center is a structural honeycomb polymer panel selected for its insulation properties, and the interior is a metal lining that reflects and maintains optimal temperatures (between 35-60°C) for the duration of the print. Watch our temp testing video on YouTube.
2) Fume and Odor Control
Our entire HotBox line comes with an optional vent port where you can mount a fan to either filter or pipe the fumes out a window. An easy-to-make fume extractor, 3D models, parts lists, and instructions can be found on Cults here. A Video Short showing the build is here.
3) Reduce Machine Noise
The HotBox was able to achieve a nearly 20% reduction of noise in comparison to the bare P1P, the P1P with Bambu plastic panels, and even the X1 with its metal enclosure. See the machine noise comparison video here.
4) Easy Access
Unlike other solutions, the P1P HotBox allows you to access either side of your Bambu Lab printer easily by just unzipping the side and swinging it open. The front door allows full access to the build plate and interior. And the whole unit is removable in less than 10 seconds should you need to work on your printer.
Other great features:
- A built-in thermometer (two LR44 batteries not included) to easily view the internal temperature.
- The front panel has a large clear window for maximum visibility which is a fully openable door that remains fixed to the side when you need front access. No more glass breakages, no more obstructions!
- The right side panel touts tool pouches and elastic straps to keep your most needed tools at arm's reach.
- The rear has openings for venting, the poop chute, the power chord, and the switch.
- A removable patch should you ever mount a rear panel with an extra CPU fan.
- A line of printable accessories is available on cults. A custom poop bucket for use with the P1P HotBox and an AMS buffer mount that allows you to use an upgraded buffer with the P1P HotBox.

This thing arrived fast and is a great addition to my printer. I am able to now print in my cold work space without my prints peeling from the bed.
I want to mention that not only is the hotbox a great product, Wham Bam customer service is top notch and they go above and beyond what you would expect. They took the time to custom make a part for my hotbox to fit my specific need. Great product and out of the world customer service.
The box is easy to setup but the window clear part looked like it was used previously, marks and scratches on it.
The Prusa mk3s doesn’t quite fit in the box because of the reel holder on the top and the slit on the top of the box does not line up with where I need i5 to be so 8 will need to come up with another way to setup the spools so I can use the box.
Several of the holes don't line up. I bought 2 of them for my 2 P1P units. Haven't installed the second one because when you open the front it literally tears and has torn the LCD screen from my device and it will never be the same or go back to where it was.
While this is for the P1P, they said it would "work" for the P1S. And while it does, I whish there were some considerations for a P1P or P1S with an enclosure and a door. Maybe even matching notches on the top that mirror the top for a cabinet like in my pic. I do like it, but whish it were a little better to accommodate both the P1P and P1S.
My unit came with damage when it was delivered and took a little longer than expected to get delivered. The zipper and fabric at the top of the enclosure was not correctly and so with repeated use of that zipper it will likely tear all the way in the future. I do like the design of the front door and the side opening on the unit. All of the openings still align where they should.
